Point Look Out 6/30 from shore

[ILV2F5H]

So What do yo do when there's no power? Go fishing. Got there around 9pm Saturday night. We got setup pretty quick and fished the Bay side close to the lighthouse. Spot were automatic with blood worms. They ranged in size from 2 to about 7 inches. Caught the occasional Blue, Croaker and "spotted channel bass". The largest Blue was about 12 inches. We left around 3:30 am as the tide was hitting peak low. We did see a nice display of lightning as well. It was nice and breezy, just enough to keep the bugs off.

On another note. I hope people that are fishing and catching red drum know the difference between a croaker and a red drum. I sure hope people aren't keeping 9" red drum.

Tight Lines!

awsome! I was at pt lookout all weekend(not fishing) and noticed people on the piers in the park keeping puppy drum I would tell them everytime I saw them in buckets but usually too late for the fish.

I am sorry for my ignorance but what's the deal with red drum?

Red drum....when they are less then 27" are called puppy drum. They are also known as Redfish.
New Orleans chef Paul Prudhomme (sp?) made Redfish extraordinary popular....I admit it is one of my favorites. Legal size to keep are 18-27" any larger or smaller must be released. Additionally, limit is one per angler per day.

They are more plentiful in the southern east coast and gulf, but overall they are on the decline; or so I hear.
